Unfortunately, with the size of the new keyboard, I had no choice. I used to be able to fit both my mouse and old keyboard on the slide out. But, with my height/the height of my chair it isn't too bad actually.

But, where will my books go?! Lol, my feet go right below said invention. It's an extremely space saving set up. On the far right of the picture is a bed, to the left of me is another bed. I don't get much room since I share a room. It's honestly the best I could make of the situation. The arms of my chair come slightly above the slide-out, giving my left arm a slight bend down and my right arm a slight bend up, nice 'n comfy circulation :P

Nah not really. I'm able to somehow fit my large size-15 feet slightly under the metal part and my long arms make up the difference. It's kind of hard to tell in this picture but there is some space there.

Get rid of that stereo and boom, all the space you could ever need will open up!

Microcenter (the best place in the world) has a lot of CPU/MOBO combos and I got the i5 and the Asus for $230 total. The 7870 was $220 and I got Assassins Creed III for free as well as the default free Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite. Newegg sells the i5 for $219 ALONE so I saved over $100 bucks.

As someone living in New York City, this place is a gift from Odin because there aren't many stores dedicated to PC gaming and the ones that we have are small and the employees tend to be a hit or a miss. I highly recommend looking to see if there is one in driving distance from you. You can even buy all the parts for your rig and someone will put it together for a reasonable fee ($100 bucks ish I believe). That's far better than any of the online stores like Ibuypower and Cyberpower. I saw someone getting their finished rig and the employee went over all the stuff with the guy. Definitely a must for people who aren't confident enough to build their own PC.

Out of interest, any of our Sabertoothers using the little auxiliary fans that come with it, and can say how noisy they are and if they make a noticeable difference?

I have both of them installed and yes they do make a noise. It's an odd noise too. I think the reason WHY I hear them is because I use a Coolermaster HAF case and it's very open. You can use the ASUS Suite fan program and make custom profiles for those aux fans and try to adjust it manually so you don't hear the fan noise.

They are easy to put in and take out. Try both and see what you like. I prefer to keep them in since the board is designed for them with the channels to remove the hot air and cool the mobo a little better.

Wow. That looks amazing. I wish I had the patience to do that. Did those cables come with the power supply? If not, what brand are they?
